Rémunération des heures supplémentaires et nombre d’heures maximum

Standard working hours are 40 hours per day, 8 hours per week. The standard work week is from Monday to Friday.

Overtime payment is not mandatory. Hours outside of standard work hours can be considered overtime. Overtime wages should be agreed between the parties.

Employees are entitled to 105 calendar days of maternity leave. Leave should start 28 days before the birth date. During this period, the Government is responsible for paying the base salary.

Congé paternité

Employees are entitled to 15 calendar days of paternity leave to be taken before the child is 3 months old. During this period, the Government will pay the basic salary (capped at 2.5 times the last known average gross salary in the Republic of Slovenia for the previous year). Leave must start after the birth of the child.

Congé parental

Employees are entitled to 160 days of parental leave each. 60 days are non-transferable for each parent. This leave is extended in the event of the birth of twins or more children at the same time, a prematurely born child, or a child who needs additional care.

During this period, the Government will pay the basic salary, capped at 2.5 times the last known average gross salary in the Republic of Slovenia for the previous year.

Congés maladie

There is no limitation to sick leave only if the employee presents a medical certificate. If the illness or injury is work-related, the first 30 days are borne by the employer. After that, it is covered by social security.

The amount of coverage and responsibility of payment will depend on the cause of leave. For example, sick leave for the child and injury at work will be paid by the Health Insurance.

Conditions de départ

Un licenciement doit respecter des règles complexes et la procédure officielle du pays où travaille la personne concernée. Les conditions du départ sont toujours gérées par l’employeur avec les principales parties prenantes. La procédure peut inclure des frais ponctuels et certaines mesures (obligatoires ou recommandées) dans des cas spécifiques de licenciement.

The most common types of dismissal:

For those who served between one year and 10 years, the employee receives 1/5 of the average salary from the previous three months for every year served. For those who served more than 10 years, severance is ¼; over 20 years gets 1/3.
  • Extraordinary: when an employee commits a crime, fails to show up for work, presents false data, declines a transfer, and other serious breaches. The termination must be delivered in writing and express the reason for the termination and must be delivered in person.

Période de préavis

The notice period will depend on what's agreed on in the employment contract. The maximum notice period is 60 days, and in case less notice is required by one of the parties it will have to comply with the law:

  • Up to one year of employment 15 days
  • After one year of employment 30 days.

Indemnités de départ des employés

The amount of severance pay is regulated by the Companies Act. And the payment will depend on the type of termination. Therefore early terminations, due to specific reasons, will be entitled to severance.

In case of severance will apply, the amounts will depend on each case, including the length of the employment. The following wages can be considered as a guide:

  • If the employee has been employed for up to 10 years, severance will be half the average monthly gross salary for the past three months for each year of work.
  • If the employee has been employed for up to 20 years, severance will be 1/4 the average monthly gross salary for the past three months for each year of work.
  • If the employee has been employed over 20 years, severance will be 1/3 the average monthly gross salary for the past three months for each year of work.
